    Has anybody written an traceback procedure that will identify the string
    where the problem is occuring, as well as the line? I would do this, but I
    don't know enough yet. This would be useful for things like:
    1) Finding out *which* variable is not found.
    2) Diagnosing stupid errors, like putting in to many or to few parens.
    3) Figuring out if your program is going into a loop or something.

    etc.

    If there is, I would love to hear about it. If there isn't, somebody should
    write it. If they won't, then I will sometime.
